Ternary Operator
This is great operator. its actually an if-else statement, but they gave it a fancy name.
the syntax is
(condition)?this:else;

it says if the condition is TRUE then do this or do else

example:

PHP Code:


			
$flag = TRUE;

$msg = ($flag)?'Hired':'Fired';

The examples says, if flag is true then store 'Hired' in $msg else store 'Fired'.

The more general example is using different colors for rows

PHP Code:


			
$color = '203030';

$flag = TRUE;

echo '<table>';

while($flag)

{

  echo '<tr bgcolor="'.(($color=='203030')?'404040':'203030').'"><td> Row with different color</td></tr>';

}

echo '</table>';

Hope this was helpful
